I have been following the news about Spektrum range problems then I discovered theSpektrum site reported a production mistake had been discovered - routing the antenna too close to the circuitry. I decided to ake the plunge and put my Spektrum in my TS3 and it works perfectly - at least 200 metres range which is more than I can see to sail properly. I've not done anything clever with the receiver antenna position - it is in its natural state, roughly coiled and hanging from the receiver which is stuck under the deck with velcro. Note following Rob Guyatt's advice it is easy to keep the transmitter antenna vertical if you mount it pointing down. Has anyone else used an unmodified receiver with success?

It's very informative as a few friends and I are following the progress of the new radios with keen interest after years of hassles over channel allocations for our RC yachts.
